Cherry Bomb Lilly Pilly - Syzygium australe 'Cherry Bomb'
Cherry Bomb is a fast growing, medium sized Syzygium australe whose new growth breaks a vivid cherry red, several times through the warm months, over a compact and naturally dense frame. It occupies the useful middle ground between the low border lilly pillies and the 5m screeners: tall enough to divide a garden, short enough to stay under a window line. The vigour means it fills out quickly, and the tight habit means it stays furnished once it has.
Why Cherry Bomb Lilly Pilly
Bright red flush: Repeated flushes of intense cherry red new growth through spring and summer keep colour in the hedge line.
Naturally dense: Tight internodes produce a solid, opaque plant that needs little training to look full.
Quick to establish: Fast growth closes gaps in the first two seasons, which shortens the wait for a finished hedge.
Mid height habit: A ceiling of 2 to 3m suits a divider or a window height hedge that does not need constant topping.
Psyllid resistant: Selected for clean, unpitted foliage so the red flush is not spoiled by leaf distortion.
Ideal Applications
Mid height hedge: Held at around 1.5 to 2m it separates a front garden from a driveway without blocking the outlook.
Garden room divider: Run across a large garden to break the space into defined areas while keeping sightlines open above.
Foundation and window planting: Its ceiling height sits neatly below sill level on a single storey house.
Coastal and exposed gardens: The tough waxy leaf handles wind and salt spray on east coast sites better than most colour shrubs.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 0.8 to 1.2m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 2 to 3m
Best Planting Season: Spring or autumn
Soil & Drainage: Adaptable to most well-drained soils including clay and sandy loams; prefers moist, fertile conditions
Establishment Care: Water deeply two to three times per week for the first 8 to 12 weeks until established, then reduce to weekly during dry periods. Apply a layer of mulch around the root zone to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
